Help your jewelry last longer — and love it more. Here’s what makes each of our materials special so you can find your perfect match.
🔸 PVD-Coated Stainless Steel
All our stainless steel jewelry is PVD coated.
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a thin film coating process used on stainless steel jewelry. It creates a hard, scratch-resistant surface, protecting the underlying stainless steel from wear and tear — and it’s eco-friendly!
With proper care, it can last several years, even with regular wear.
Highly waterproof and sweatproof.
Gold PVD is darker in color than gold-filled (identical to solid gold).
🔹 304 Stainless Steel
The most common grade used in stainless steel jewelry making. Strong, affordable, and water-friendly.
Tarnish, rust, and corrosion resistant.
Hypoallergenic for most skin types — great for daily wear.
Great option for all jewelry.
⚕️ Surgical Stainless Steel (316L)
With its super low nickel content (often considered nickel-free), it’s ideal for ultra-sensitive skin.
